In this reflective episode of Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, Lauren explores what happens when the practices, strategies, and tools that once brought clarity no longer work the same way.

Set between energy forecast conversations, this episode honors the pause as a meaningful space rather than a problem to solve. Lauren shares practical guidance on discernment versus urgency, how to recognize completion instead of resistance, and why clarity often arrives through recognition rather than action.

The episode closes with a personal moment of awareness that reframes success, presence, and what it means to be “doing well” in life — even when other areas feel uncertain.

This conversation is for anyone who feels in-between, reflective, or quietly recalibrating.

In this episode:

• How to recognize when a tool, habit, or strategy has completed its season

• Discernment versus urgency and why the body often knows first

• What to do when clarity doesn’t arrive on demand

• How the pause can reveal what’s already working in your life

• Redefining success through presence, trust, and quiet impact

In this episode of Master Your Mind, Business, and Life, Lauren Smith continues the 2026 Energy Forecast series with a deeply meaningful conversation alongside her dear friend and mentor, Sherile Turner.

Sherile is a psychic medium, astrologer, and soul therapist whose work bridges angelic insight with grounded wisdom. Together, Lauren and Sherile explore the energetic themes shaping 2026 and share intuitive guidance to help listeners move into the year with greater clarity, alignment, and trust.

Meeting Sherile was a true cosmic turning point in Lauren’s life, and the guidance shared in this episode reflects insights that are meant to be lived, not just heard.

Together, they explore: • What actually happens during a spiritual or trauma-healing session • The science behind altered states of consciousness • What unfolds in the “life-between-lives” realm • How soul-level insight can reshape your path in this lifetime

Ever had a project drag on for months because your client kept delaying? You’re not alone, and it’s one of the most expensive lessons creative entrepreneurs learn the hard way.

In this solo episode, Lauren shares the one contract clause that completely changed the way she does business, the late fee/delay clause, and the powerful advice from her mentor, Sherile, that led her to include it.

She breaks down how client delays quietly drain your energy, income, and confidence, and why protecting your time is one of the most important forms of self-respect in both life and business.

This isn’t just a conversation about contracts... it’s about boundaries, energetic hygiene, and learning to lead your business like someone who knows their worth.
